SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Folding in Color: Origami Landscapes

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Hidden Glimpses of Nature: Photography
DESCRIPTION:The photography of Charles St. Charles reveals hidden glimpses of nature that few people have witnessed or are even aware exist. His work covers a vast spectrum\, from the scale of very small while recording light passing through the natural lens of miniscule dew drops\, to the scale of the very large while recording fields of daisies and fields of stars in the same image. The briefest moments of kissing and cavorting fox kits are frozen in time\, while extraordinary long exposures taken during the night expose brilliant fall foliage surrounded by moving mist. Charles' unmanipulated images all point to the same conclusion – it is a phenomenal world that we live in.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Race: Are we so different?
DESCRIPTION:People are different.  Throughout history\, these differences have been a source of community strength and personal identity.  They have also been the basis for discrimination and oppression.\n\nThe idea of “race” has been used historically to describe these differences and to justify mistreatment of people and even genocide.  Today\, contemporary scientific understanding of human variation is beginning to challenge “racial” differences\, and even challenge the very concept of race.\n\nRace:  Are we so different?\, developed by the American Anthropological Association in collaboration with the Science Museum of Minnesota\, is the first national exhibition to tell the stories of race from the biological\, cultural\, and historical points of view.  Combining these perspectives offers an unprecedented look at race and racism in the United States.  For more information about the exhibit\, visit www.UnderstandingRace.org. The traveling Race exhibit has inspired the University of Michigan’s Understanding Race Project\, an audience engagement initiative including the campus-wide\, winter term Understanding Race Theme Semester\, centered in the College of Literature\, Science\, and the Arts\; participation by all ten public school districts in Washtenaw County\; and extensive involvement by community members\, nonprofits\, government agencies\, and other groups.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Black Detroit 21
DESCRIPTION:In partnership with the Penny W. Stamps School of Art and Design\, the University of Michigan Detroit Center presents the Work: Detroit gallery exhibition\, Black Detroit 21. Curated by Odie Rynell Cash\, Black Detroit 21 addresses social concerns within Detroit's African American community by exploring the topics of identity\, territory\, protest\, sexuality and transition. This exhibition kicks off with an opening reception on Friday\, January 11\, 2013 from 6 – 9p.m. The opening night performance and discussion features:\n\n7:00 p.m. - 4TheatrSake\; 25 minute performance of selections from Cell/$hips.\n7:30 p.m. - Artists and Curator Discussion: Black Detroit 21\; Moderator: Odie Rynell Cash\, Curator \nOver the course of the last five months the artists and curator from the exhibition have held discussions both in person and via the Internet around the topics presented in \"Black Detroit 21\". This final discussion will focus on the exhibition theme in relation to art and the Detroit community. A brief question and answer period with the audience will follow the discussion.\n8:30 p.m. - Satori Circus - Performance\n\"Oh Happy Day Trilogy\" (part one)\nAccording to the artists\, the goal of this performance is to “make us think...review ourselves...soul searching/identity - its loss and in search of it...and what is gained in doing so...entertainment/education/observation/simulation/and the hybrid that comes out of those. Thereby\, the audience walks away questioning...the artist\, themselves\, the world we've woven around us.”\nWith a Black population of more than 80-percent\, Detroit's African American community plays a significant role in this city's cultural identity and economic future. As Detroit moves through the 21st century\, what role will the African Americans play in Detroit's development in the community? How will this population define itself in the new century while dealing with various issues that impacts growth\, development and cultural enrichment in the city? The exhibition Black Detroit 21 addresses social concerns within Detroit's African American community by exploring the topics of identity\, territory\, protest\, sexuality and transition. The 11 artists in this show are from a multitude of social\, personal and generational backgrounds\, finding a common theme in their work\, which documents and/or is influenced by Detroit's African American community. The installation of the artists work in Black Detroit 21 presents a visual context to create a dialogue around these topics.\n\nBlack Detroit 21 is curated by Odie Rynell Cash\, an internationally active independent curator\, arts program organizer and artist living between Detroit\, Michigan and Antwerp\, Belgium. Cash is recognized for his wide range of artistic practices and concerns\; with the significance of avant-garde ideas and experimental mediums/media that address contemporary social and urban society.\n\nHe studied a Liberal Education curriculum at Columbia College Chicago. He has an extensive and varied background\, having curated and exhibited artworks in more than nine countries\, including projects in Antwerp\, Manila\, Rotterdam\, Paris and Toronto. Cash was the recipient of a 2007 Flemish Minister of Culture Travel Grant for research on performance theory. He has been invited by the Center for Contemporary Art in Lagos\, Nigeria to curate a group exhibition that is anticipated to open in the Fall of 2014.\n\nThe exhibition concludes on March 22\; with event performances on February 7\, February 20\, March 8\, March 12 and March 22.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Florencia Pita/FP mod
DESCRIPTION:Organized by the University of Michigan Museum of Art\, Florencia Pita/FP mod explores the provocations and intersections of digital technology\, material experimentation\, femininity\, and ornament in the work of Argentina-born\, Los Angeles-based architect and designer Florencia Pita. The exhibition and its related publication\, part of the UMMA Books series\, trace the evolution of Pita's design ideology through installation pieces\, urban design\, tableware\, furniture\, and architecture\, as well as small adornments. Pita's boldly colored works draw from literary\, art\, and biological sources\; employ cutting-edge architectural fabrication techniques\; and cross borders of visual art\, architecture\, and design.\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment\, Laura Lynch and Hugh McPherson\, and the Graham Foundation for Advanced Studies in the Fine Arts. Additional generous support is provided by Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning.\n

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Francis Alys: Guards
DESCRIPTION:Belgian artist Francis Alys's video Guards (2005) documents sixty-four of the Queen of England's guards on a \"walk\" throughout the City of London. There is perhaps no more symbolically unemotional character than that of a bearskin-hat-wearing guard of the Queen of England. Yet even with no break in the guards' indifferent exterior\, the tale still manages to be a powerful metaphor for the human condition. Many of the elements of Guards are found throughout Alys's work: walking\, rhythm\, the use of the street and bridges are all common tropes in his oeuvre. These strategies\, evoking the poetic and sonic palette of the urban environment\, involve a sometimes loose and other times overt relationship to social resistance and to the symbolic and often political implications of these actions.\n\nGenerous support for this exhibition is provided by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost.\n

SUMMARY:Conference / Symposium:Lineages of the Literary Left
DESCRIPTION:This two-day conference honors Alan M. Wald\, H. Chandler Davis Collegiate Professor of English and American Culture\, on the occasion of his retirement from teaching at the University of Michigan after 38 years on the faculty.  The event celebrates Professor Wald's contributions to expanding the scope of U.S. literary studies and building American Culture at Michigan.  Distinguished guest speakers will present new scholarship regarding literature and leftwing political movements worldwide.\n\nAlan Wald is the world's leading authority on the relation between 20th-century U.S. literature and radical left-wing political movements.  His books and articles have illuminated the creative lives of figures such as James T. Farrell\, Langston Hughes\, Muriel Rukeyser\, Philip Rahv\, Richard Wright\, Ralph Ellison\, and Arthur Miller--and have brought attention to unduly neglected writers such as Ann Petry\, Jo Sinclair\, Carlos Bulosan\, and Joy Davidman.  These are just a handful of the writers who figure in Wald's magisterial studies in modern American culture.\n\nThursday\, March 21 \n1 pm:  Founders Room\, Alumni Center \n* Welcome to conference:\n	Prof. Terrence McDonald\, \n        Dean\, College of Literature\, Science\, and the Arts\;\n	Prof. Paula Rabinowitz\, University of Minnesota\n\n1:15-3:15 (Panel  A)\nREADING THE OLD LEFT NOW \n”¢	Julia Mickenberg\, University of Texas\, “U.S. Women\, the Pilgrimage to Russia\, and the Question of Stalinism” \n”¢	Sarah Ehlers\, University of South Dakota\, “Left of Lyric: Depression-era Poetry and Collective Life”\n”¢	Keith Gilyard\, Pennsylvania State University\, “John Henry in the Work of John Oliver Killens”\n”¢	Heather Bowen-Struyk\, University of Michigan\, “The Resurgence of Proletarian Literature in Japan in 2008”\n\n4:00 KEYNOTE ADDRESS\n* Michael Löwy\, Research Director emeritus\, CNRS\, Paris:\n“Jewish Radicals in Central Europe and the US: A Comparative Approach”\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Research Through Making exhibit
DESCRIPTION:In architecture\, research and creative practice are often constructed as opposites. The perceived tension between design and research is indicative of the field of architecture seeking to understand its nature as an applied art.\nThrough a grant program at the Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning\, researchers challenge that perception. Research Through Making\, a competitive grant for faculty now in its fourth year\, provides seed funding for a yearlong investigation into the application of design to research.\nThe results of their study are presented in an exhibition open from 3-7 p.m. Thursday through Sunday\, through April 21\, at the Liberty Research Annex Gallery\, 305 W. Liberty St.\n “The broad reach of this year’s projects – which include considering architecture as an experiment in domesticity\, experimenting with structures that are composed to decompose\, and articulating urban emptiness – speaks to both the creativity and intellectual rigor that our faculty bring to the fundamental link between design and research\,” says Taubman College Dean Monica Ponce de Leon.\n

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:EEB Thursday Seminar Series
DESCRIPTION:Phytochrome photoreceptors regulate almost all aspects of plant development\, including agronomically important processes such as flowering time\, fruit maturation\, and shade avoidance. Gene duplication and divergence have produced a phytochrome family with two key players\, phyA and phyB. They occur in all sampled seed plants and they function complementarily and antagonistically in open and shaded habitats to promote development in all terrestrial ecosystems. Episodes of positive selection and radical amino acid replacement mark several branches in the phytochrome phylogeny\, concentrated in the phyA lineage. We hypothesize that amino acid residues at the affected sites are candidate determinants of phyA and phyB specificity and we are testing this using site-directed mutagenesis.  Other projects in the lab use data from phytochrome genes to infer organismal phylogenies\, sometimes yielding trees that conflict with those from using phylogenomic approaches. It is not clear that this results simply from biases in single gene results.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:UMMA Dialogue with Mabel Wilson
DESCRIPTION:UMMA welcomes Professor Mabel O. Wilson of Columbia University to discuss her 2012 book Negro Building: Black Americans in the World of Fairs and Museums. Professor Wilson will be joined for this event by UM Professors Kevin K. Gaines (History and Department of Afroamerican and African Studies) and Magdalena J. Zaborowska (American Culture and DAAS). \n\nNegro Building examines the history of exhibitions about black Americans\, from the Civil War to the Civil Rights Movement\, focusing on the increasing curatorial participation of African Americans themselves and the formative role of this participation in the development of models of identity and of a black American public sphere. \n\nMabel O. Wilson directs the Program for Advanced Architectural Research at Columbia’s Graduate School of Architecture Planning and Preservation. Like the book that she will be discussing for this event\, she navigates in her scholarly work and her studio practice between the fields of architecture\, art\, and cultural history. Her scholarly essays have appeared in numerous journals and books on critical geography\, memory studies\, art and architecture. Her studio work has been exhibited at the Wexner Center for the Arts\, the Cooper Hewitt National Design Museum’s Triennial\, the Storefront for Art and Architecture\, and SF Cameraworks. \n\nDr. Wilson’s interlocutors for this event bring a wealth of knowledge about the central roles played by African Americans in twentieth-century American cultural history and the formation of notions of American identity. Dr. Kevin G. Gaines is the Robert Hayden Collegiate Professor of History and Afroamerican and African Studies at the University of Michigan. His most recent book is American Africans in Ghana: Black Expatriates in the Civil Rights Era (2006). Dr. Magdalena J. Zaborowska is a Professor in American Culture and the Department of Afroamerican and African Studies. Her most recent book is James Baldwin’s Turkish Decade: Erotics of Exile (2009).\n\nThis project is made possible in part by the LSA Understanding Race Theme Semester.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Penny Stamps Distinguished Speaker Series 
DESCRIPTION:Unless otherwise noted\, all programs take place on Thursdays at 5:10 pm at the historic Michigan Theater\, located at 603 E. Liberty Street in downtown Ann Arbor\, and are free of charge and open to the public.\n\nJanuary 17: RENOIR and SURREALIST PARIS in Black & White \nA short film directed by Renoir in the late twenties\, right after he had discovered jazz\, Sur un air de Charleston is a little masterpiece\, albeit unknown\, of the silent movie period. In 2028 Paris\, a mysterious African explorer lands with his aeronef on Terra Incognita. There\, he meets a beautiful young Parisian dancer\, who eventually initiates him to the pleasures of Charleston.\nAn essay in reverse anthropology\, a burlesque and surrealist vaudeville\, Sur un air de Charleston is a singular piece of art. A product of the roaring twenties\, it can be construed as a critique of France’s racial context\, then at the height of its colonial Empire. But it also has to be considered on the much broader scale of transatlantic cultural exchanges. Thus\, we start to envision some of the unsuspected links that irrigate and reconfigure the seamingly neat cartography of Western modernism. \nTwo musicians\, Olivier Thémines and Guillaume Hazebrouck\, invite you with anthropologist Emmanuel Parent to discover this astonishing movie with a ciné-concert/conference. The movie\, accompanied by a live original music\, will be followed by a lecture and discussion on the question of race within the artistic context of 1920s France. \n\nJanuary 24: WILSON SMITH \nWilson W. Smith III is a Design Director at Nike\, Inc.\, Beaverton\, Oregon. Smith is currently involved in Nike's Better World projects\, and is a lead designer as a part of Nike's \"Innovation Kitchen\". After becoming a Senior Designer in 1990\, Smith was involved primarily with the concepts of Nike's cross-training and basketball products.\nSmith established much of the design direction for Tennis footwear throughout the 1990s\, and created many athlete-endorsed products including Andre Agassi's signature line. In 1997\, Wilson Smith became the first dedicated designer for Jordan brand\, and is best known for designing the Jordan 16(XVI) and 17(XVII). In 2003\, Wilson became the Design Director of Nike Court\, encompassing all tennis & racquet driven footwear\, while also designing signature products for Nike endorsees Serena Williams\, and Roger Federer. Black Enterprise Magazine recently named Wilson one of America’s Top Black Designers. \n\nJanuary 31: LISA STRAUSFELD\nLisa Strausfeld’s work lies at the intersection of physical and virtual space: where information structures and physical structures meet\, and where the navigation of information and the navigation of buildings join in a single experience. She and her team specialize in digital information projects including the design of large-scale media installations\, software prototypes and user interfaces\, signage and websites for a broad range of civic\, cultural and corporate clients including One Laptop per Child\, GE\, Litl\, Bloomberg\, Gallup\, The New York Times\, M.I.T.\, Brown University\, the Museum of Arts and Design and the Detroit Institute of Arts.\nStrausfeld holds four patents relating to user interfaces and intelligent search and retrieval\, and in 2006 she was named to the Senior Scientist program at the Gallup Organization. In addition to many awards and honors\, Strausfeld was selected as one of Fast Company's \"Masters of Design\" in 2009 and received the National Design Award in the category of Interaction Design in 2010.\n\nFebruary 7: El ANATSUI\nEl Anatsui was born in Anyanko\, Ghana in 1944. Many of Anatsui’s sculptures are mutable in form\, conceived to be so free and flexible that they can be shaped in any way and altered in appearance for each installation. Working with wood\, clay\, metal\, and–most recently–the discarded metal caps of liquor bottles\, Anatsui breaks with sculpture’s traditional adherence to forms of fixed shape while visually referencing the history of abstraction in African and European art. The colorful and densely patterned fields of the works assembled from discarded liquor-bottle caps also trace a broader story of colonial and postcolonial economic and cultural exchange in Africa\, told in the history of cast-off materials. The sculptures in wood and ceramics introduce ideas about the function of objects (their destruction\, transformation\, and regeneration) in everyday life\, and the role of language in deciphering visual symbols. El Anatsui received a BA from the College of Art\, University of Science and Technology\, Kumasi\, Ghana (1969) and since 1975 has taught at the University of Nigeria\, Nsukka. His works are in the public collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art\, New York\; Museum of Modern Art\, New York\; Los Angeles County Museum of Art\; Indianapolis Museum of Art\; British Museum\, London\; and Centre Pompidou\, Paris\, among many others. Major exhibitions of his work have appeared at the Sterling and Francine Clark Art Institute\, Williamstown (2011)\; Royal Ontario Museum\, Toronto (2010)\; National Museum of Ethnology\, Osaka (2010)\; Rice University Art Gallery\, Houston (2010)\; Venice Biennale (2007)\; and the Biennale of African Art\, Senegal (2006). El Anatsui lives and works in Nsukka\, Nigeria.\n\nFebruary 21: TANIA BRUGUERA\nTania Bruguera is one of the leading political and performance artists of her generation. Her work researches ways in which art can be applied to everyday political life\, creating a public forum to debate ideas in a state of contradiction\, focusing on the transformation of the \"viewer\" into one of \"citizenry.\" Bruguera's terms “arte de conducta” (conduct/behavior art) and “arte útil” (useful art) define her practice. In 2010\, Bruguera launched Immigrant Movement International\, a five-year project that helps define the immigrant as a unique\, new global citizen in a postnational world and tests the concept of “useful art\,” by artists actively implementing the merging of art into society’s urgent social\, political\, and scientific issues.\nBruguera’s work has been presented internationally at Documenta 11\, Kassel\, Germany and several biennials including Performa\, Venice\, Gwangju\, and Havana. She has exhibited at the Tate Modern\, London\; Künsthalle Wien\, Vienna\; Centre Pompidou\, Paris\; and the New Museum of Contemporary Art\, New York. \n\nMarch 14: LYNDA BARRY\nLynda Barry has worked as a painter\, cartoonist\, writer\, illustrator\, playwright\, editor\, commentator and teacher and found they are very much alike. She is the inimitable creator behind the seminal comic strip that was syndicated across North America in alternative weeklies for two decades\, Ernie Pook's Comeek\, as well as the books One! Hundred! Demons!\, The! Greatest! of! Marlys!\, Cruddy: An Illustrated Novel\, Naked Ladies! Naked Ladies! Naked Ladies! and The Good Times are Killing Me\, which was adapted as an off-Broadway play and won the Washington State Governor's Award. In 2011\, Drawn & Quarterly published Blabber Blabber Blabber\, the first in a 10-volume retrospective series of her comics work. Her bestselling and acclaimed creative writing-how to-graphic novel for Drawn & Quarterly\, What It Is (2008)\, won the Eisner Award for Best Reality Based Graphic Novel and R.R. Donnelly Award for highest literary achievement by a Wisconsin author.\nWhat It Is (2008) is based on “Writing the Unthinkable”\, a tried-and-true method creative method that is playful\, powerful\, and accessible to anyone with an inquisitive wish to write or remember. With What It Is and Picture This (2010)\, Barry explores the depths of the inner and outer realms of creation and imagination\, where play can be serious\, monsters have purpose\, and not knowing is an answer unto itself.\n\nMarch 21: KEN BURNS\nDocumentary filmmaker Ken Burns has been producing films for PBS for more than 25 years. Since the Academy Award nominated Brooklyn Bridge in 1981\, Ken has gone on to direct and produce some of the most acclaimed historical documentaries ever made. A December 2002 poll conducted by Real Screen Magazine listed The Civil War as second only to Robert Flaherty’s Nanook of the North as the “most influential documentary of all time\,” and named Ken Burns and Robert Flaherty as the “most influential documentary makers” of all time. In March\, 2009\, David Zurawik of The Baltimore Sun said\, “”¦ Burns is not only the greatest documentarian of the day\, but also the most influential filmmaker period. That includes feature filmmakers like George Lucas and Steven Spielberg. I say that because Burns not only turned millions of persons onto history with his films\, he showed us a new way of looking at our collective past and ourselves.” The late historian Stephen Ambrose said of his films\, “More Americans get their history from Ken Burns than any other source.” Ken’s films have won twelve Emmy Awards and two Oscar nominations\, and in September of 2008\, at the News & Documentary Emmy Awards\, Ken was honored by the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences with a Lifetime Achievement Award.\nBurns' documentaries include The Civil War\, Baseball\, Jazz\, Thomas Jefferson\, Lewis and Clark: The Journey of the Corps of Discovery\, Frank Lloyd Wright\, Mark Twain\, Unforgivable Blackness: The Rise and Fall of Jack Johnson\, The War\, The National Parks: America’s Best Idea\, Prohibition and The Dust Bowl.\n\nMarch 28: CARMELITA TROPICANA\nCarmelita Tropicana (a.k.a. Alina Troyano) is a performance artist\, playwright\, and actor. Troyano burst on New York’s downtown performing arts scene in the eighties with her alter ego\, the spitfire Carmelita Tropicana and her counterpart\, the irresistible archetypal Latin macho Pingalito Betancourt\, followed by performances as Hernando Cortez’s horse and la Cucaracha Martina from her childhood fairy tales in Cuba. In Tropicana’s work humor and fantasy become subversive tools to rewrite history.\nTropicana’s performances plays and videos have been presented at venues such as the Institute of Contemporary Art in London\, Hebbel Am Ufer in Berlin\, Centre de Cultura Contemporanea in Barcelona\, the Berlin International Film Festival\, the New Museum of Contemporary Art in New York\, the Mark Taper Forum’s Kirk Douglas Theater in Los Angeles\, and El Museo del Barrio in New York. Her work has received funding support from the Independent Television Service\, the Jerome Foundation\, and the Rockefeller Suitcase Fund. She has received numerous awards including the prestigious Anonymous Was a Woman and fellowships from the New York Foundation for the Arts as well as an Obie for Sustained Excellence in Performance. She is the author of a collection of performance pieces and short essays called I\, Carmelita Tropicana: Performing between Cultures (2000).\n\nApril 4: PAOLA ANTONELLI\nPerspectives\nPaola Antonelli is Senior Curator in the Department of Architecture and Design and Director of Research and Development at the Museum of Modern Art.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Introductory Panel to \"Animal Acts: Performing Species Today\"
DESCRIPTION:Sponsored by the Institute for Research on Women and Gender\n\nPanel presenters: Donna Haraway\, Author of The Cyborg Manifesto and other influential texts\; Una Chaudhuri\, Collegiate Professor of English\, New York University and a pioneer in animal studies within the humanities\; Clare Croft\, University of Michigan\, Dance\; Peggy McCracken\, University of Michigan\, French and Women's Studies\; Joseph Keckler\, Performer\; Carmelita Tropicana\, Performer\n\nWhile feminist scholars have been instrumental in the emergent interdisciplinary field of animal studies\, the role of feminist inquiry in a \"posthuman\" discourse has been difficult to locate. Might the embodied practice of performance help illuminate the connections between questions of gender\, sexuality\, race\, and class and what has been termed \"the question of the animal\"?

SUMMARY:Performance:Dance MFA Thesis Concert: Resulting in This
DESCRIPTION:Lauren Morris\, dance/choreography    Lauren B. Morris\, both a choreographer and performer in this evening-length work\, explores the complicated and disconnected landscape of memory loss diseases. The work is a collaborative journey with six female performers who reflect the fragile\, but tenacious identities of women suffering with memory loss diseases. Morris uses original choreography\, costumes\, video\, projection imagery\, text\, music\, and props to create an expressive and effective visceral and visual experience to highlight the different stages of the disease and how it causes mental degradation over time.    The use of imagery and sound creates a warped sense of time\, orientation\, and a sense of empathy grounded in visceral realities. A visual landscape of both what is lost and found is presented through the moving bodies of Lynsey Colden\, Alison Coleman\, Isabella Ingels\, Lauren B. Morris\, Caty Raupp\, and Deanna Tomasetta. The three videos shown throughout the work represent the stories of Morris’ grandmothers who have each been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease and dementia. This work is in collaboration with Martin Montgomery\, director and editor of the videos\; Katherine Nelson\, costume designer\; and Dennis Morris and Raphael Szymanski\, music and sound composition.

SUMMARY:Performance:Rachael Davis
DESCRIPTION:Michigan songwriter and frequent Steppin' in It collaborator Rachael Davis was born in Lansing and grew up in Cadillac. What grabs you first about Rachael is the voice\, with a bluesy richness that will make you pull off the road to listen. Add in some incisive songwriting\, and you have a Michigan artist with a strong and growing following. Says songwriter Susan Werner: \"We don't have Eva Cassidy anymore\, but we do have Rachael Davis.\" Because Rachael has been swayed by so many different types of music\, her style is difficult to file and will not languorously under broader musical genres. Rachael’s slant on acoustic music can aptly be explained by a cassette mixtape that her father played during her early childhood in the family’s Chevy Cavalier station wagon\, “Iggy.” On one side of the cassette was the soundtrack for the film \"The Big Chill\"\; on the other side was John Hartford’s “Aereo-Plane”. Countless hours of riding and listening during such a critical period for a receptive child had a lasting impression and thus created Rachael's very own category of acoustic music that she calls \"Motown-Banjo.\"
